Unleash Your Full Potential: Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple – The Ultimate Hybrid Tone.
The Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple series stands as a flagship offering, inheriting advanced shell technology to deliver an extraordinary degree of expressive power. These drums are engineered to provide the exact sound you need, precisely when you need it, ensuring consistent tonal quality and volume that accurately reflects your playing.
At the heart of this shell pack is its unique Maple-Wenge-Maple hybrid shell construction. A dense core ply of wenge wood is meticulously sandwiched between plies of maple, resulting in a rich, clear tone across the full dynamic range, from the softest touch to the loudest impact. This innovative blend provides an aggressive attack and extra bite while maintaining ample resonance, surpassing the richness of 100% maple shells.
Shell thickness is optimized for each drum: 8.0mm for the bass drum and 6.2mm for toms, floor toms, and snare. Bearing edge angles are also tailored, with a 30º/R1.5 edge on the bass drum for enhanced low-end and a 45º/R1.5 edge on toms and snare for balanced tone and pronounced attack.
Yamaha's commitment to sonic excellence is evident in its advanced hardware. The YESS III mounting system minimizes acoustic dampening, allowing shells to vibrate freely for maximum sustain and volume. Hook lugs facilitate quick head replacement and precision tuning, while their small footprint maximizes tone output. Lightweight, low-mass tom holder bases further contribute to uninhibited shell resonance. Toms and snare drums feature 3.0mm aluminum die-cast hoops, delivering a strong, tight sound with extraordinary attack and decay. Bass drums are fitted with traditional wood hoops. Yamaha has also meticulously designed the optimal number and position of vent holes for each shell, enhancing midrange to low-frequency tone colors and controlling sustain.
The interior of each shell is coated with an exclusive "Vintage Natural" finish, enhancing tone and providing a refined aesthetic. This pack is presented in an elegant Classic Walnut gloss finish.
Please Note: This is a shell pack only. Cymbals, cymbal stands, hi-hat stand, snare stand, bass drum pedal, and drum throne are not included and must be purchased separately. This bundle includes the TH945B double tom holder.
